Five Ohio Northern student/athletes were named All-Ohio Athletic Conference in women's tennis for the 2014-15 season in voting conducted by the league's nine head coaches.

Senior Michelle Tuma and freshman Lynn Kelly were named to the First Team, junior Christina Corbean was named to the Second Team and juniors Meghan Letizia and Taryn Stromback receive Honorable Mention All-OAC honors.

ONU head coach Scott Wills was named the OAC Women's Tennis Coach of the Year.

Tuma is now a 4-time First Team All-OAC honoree.

She played No. 1 singles and No. 2 doubles this season, posting a 23-16 overall record.

What do you do if you are a college kid, it's the last day of classes, and it's sunny 86 degrees?

Some get together to play in the sand...in this case volleyball on West Lincoln next to the grain elevator.

Undergrad and pharmacy commencements took place Sunday, and now life begins in earnest. (Monty Siekerman)

Ten-year old Ella Bardertscher was the clear winner in the children's' fun run before the 7th annual Run For the Roses 5K race at Ohio Northern University's Kerscher Stadium on Sunday, May 3.

It was a fitting tribute to her cousin, Angela Bardertscher, in whose memory the race is held. Angie, a graduate of Ada High School and ONU, died of cystic fibrosis in 2008 at the age of 27. Her sister, Kim, has CF, too, and had a double lung transplant in 2011. The race is also in her honor.
